This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Coathanger cursive Stacey, slightly different style to make the folds and bends a little easier (lemmy.world)

Sorry no banana for scale, had to use a ruler today. ~24cm long.

The lowercase t is one of the most difficult to bend, and uppercase S isn't exactly easy either, so I spent about a week with that as a backburner project in mind, like how to simplify both first letters at once.

This is my final result, and it threw my mind for a few loops because I'm not at all used to starting with the second letter, only to loop back to the first letter...

Most of the hangers I have in my box are the thicker rigid steel hangers, so yeah pretty tough to bend, but not all that tough. Just a bit of a pain in the hands to do, but doable.

My box of hangers is a bit of a mix and match though, some of the hangers are a little thinner and easier to bend, I just keep those off to the side for whatever other projects, like if I gotta bend even more intricate shapes or perhaps try to go for smaller text size to squeeze in a couple more letters.

Generally speaking, I can bend out anywhere from 6 to 8 letters out of a single hanger, but I might be able to get 10 letters out of a thinner hanger and smaller text.

I've also worked with paperclips before as well, with similar miniature results.
